In ethnomusicology, discussions about repatriation have tended to revolve around “applied” issues. Often left out of the conversation, however, is that when treated as a methodological tool, repatriation can also contribute in profound ways to more theoretical concerns in ethnomusicology. As such, this chapter argues that employing musical repatriation in our fieldwork can help ethnomusicologists write better ethnographies—and thus subsequently to theorize about music and musical people more effectively—as it gives us a privileged avenue to understand the musical communities with which we work. Supported by a case study from Bahia, Brazil, in which a series of repatriation experiences reveal different facets of Catholic saint devotion, this chapter focuses on some of the distinct ethnographic lessons gleaned from the return of several historical recordings to a devotee of Saint Roch more than three decades after the recordings were originally made.

Why Questions

How should we study contentious politics in an era rife with new forms of contention, both in the United States and abroad? The introduction to this special issue draws attention to one particularly crucial methodological tool in the study of contention: political ethnography. It showcases the ways in which ethnographic approaches can contribute to the study of contentious politics. Specifically, it argues that “what,” “how,” and “why” questions are central to the study of contention and that ethnographic methods are particularly well-suited to answering them. It also demonstrates how ethnographic methods push scholars to both expand the objects of inquiry and rethink what the relevant units of analysis might be. By uncovering hidden processes, exploring social meanings, and giving voice to unheard stories, ethnography and “ethnography-plus” approaches contribute to the study of contention and to comparative politics, writ large.

AbstractResearchers seeking to analyse how intersubjectivity is established and maintained face significant challenges. The purpose of this article is to provide theoretical/methodological tools that begin to address these challenges. I develop these tools by applying several concepts from multimodal (inter)action analysis to an excerpt taken from the beginning of a tutoring session, drawn from a wider data set of nine one-to-one tutoring sessions. Focusing on co-produced higher-level actions as an analytic site of intersubjectivity, I show that lower-level actions that co-constitute a higher-level action can be delineated into tiers of materiality. I identify three tiers of materiality: durable, adjustable and fleeting. I introduce the theoretical/methodological tool

Self Knowledge

The quality of a teacher's professional activity is closely tied to personal growth. Personal growth, however, is influenced by self-knowledge (K. G. Jung 1994, 2001; Wilber 2010, 2013; Plotkin, 2020; Dispenza, 2015, 2016). Nowadays, there is a shift in the approaches of upbringing and educational work – from a child-focused approach to a child-centered one (OECD, 2019). Therefore, one of the currently relevant skills is getting to know oneself in order to cooperate more successfully with others and be able to accept real-life situations. The results obtained confirm that through the self-knowledge process, teachers get to experience their own personality growth. Categories such as empathy, attitude, and daringness are identified in personal growth.The research shows that by experiencing the procedural activities of self-knowledge with the help of “Get to know yourself!” method and methodological tool developed by the author, teachers improve their emotional responsiveness.The results of the study show that through the experiences gained in the self-knowledge process, teachers learn to integrate new models of action into their pedagogical activities. The aim of the study was to show the importance of self-knowledge in improving teachers' emotional responsiveness in lifelong education, by using the method "Get to know yourself!" developed by the author of the study.The objectives of the study were literature examination and evaluation and work with the target audience by using the author's method and methodological tool "Get to know yourself!".Methods: Literature studies, survey, observation.

Secondary data analysis, or the analysis of pre-existing data, can be a powerful tool for the resourceful researcher. Never has this been more true than now, when technological advances allow for easier sharing of data across labs and continents and the mining of large sources of “pre-existing data”. However, secondary data analysis is often ignored as a methodological tool, either when developing new open science practices or improving analytic methods for robust data analysis. In this paper, we hope to provide researchers with the knowledge necessary to incorporate secondary data analysis into their toolbox. Specifically, we define secondary data analysis as a tool and in relation to other common forms of analysis (including exploratory and confirmatory, observational and experimental). We highlight the advantages and disadvantages of this tool. We describe how engagement in transparency can improve and alter our interpretations of results from secondary data analysis and provide resources for robust data analysis. We close by suggesting ways in which subfields and institutions could address and improve the use of secondary data analysis.
